The Simple Nature of Sin

In an article in the Sunday School Times, Charles S. Robinson, D. D., says:—

Here "we discover the simple nature of sin; it is disobedience of a divine command. What Saul was bidden to do, he refused to do, and in the end did not do; that was sin. There is no need of bewildering ourselves with any subtle analysis: 'Sin is any want of conformity unto, or transgression of, the law of God.'"

An excellent definition, by the way, for the reason that it agrees exactly with 1 John 3:4: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law; for sin is the transgression of the law."
